I don't know how our troops do it. It just shows the caliber of people we have defending our country. To daily face an amoral, soulless enemy on the streets of Iraq and worldwide, face an incredibly hostile and anti-American media, read the incessant negative crap posted on forums across the Web (including this one), to see maggot protesters outside the hospital gates while they're trying to recover from wounds.

And then, if they regretfully have paid the ultimate price, during funeral services their loved ones have to be exposed to the filth holding signs calling for the deceased to burn in Hell.

And most of America goes about its business like there's nothing wrong with this scenario.
